Managing the risk of COVID in construction sites using wearable sensors
Workforce Safety and Performance Research and Innovation (WSPRI) group tested four different wearable sensors – an ear sensor, axillary sensor, vest, and the Oura ring – on 30 workers. The personal sensors provided more reliable data than the infrared thermometers currently being used to screen construction workers as they enter worksites.
The project was supported by Australian redundancy funding Incolink and Building Industry Group of Unions.
